He's here!

Well, we were induced at 7:00 a.m. on Monday morning. By 1:00 p.m., they checked me out and I was fully dilated. We tried pushing for a little while, but his heartrate was dipping. So, they had me rest and labor down for while. We tried pushing again, and he was doing better, but my doctor had concerns. After some discussion, we decided it would be better for the baby if we went ahead and had him delivered by c-section. So, they prepped me, wheeled me back, and within minutes, he was here. He came out screaming perfectly. His Apgar's were a 9/9. He weighed 8 lbs 5 ozs and was 20 1/2 inches long. His head circumference was 14 centimeters.

It was a long day and a lot of work, but we are so glad he is here. He is in the NICU right now because he is a wee bit jaundiced and they are putting him under the lights. We will go home either tomorrow or Thursday from what I am being told. We are so excited for him to get to meet everyone soon. Thanks for all of your well wishes and support.
